This week Kathy and Steve are LIVE from our Annual Tent Sale!

Kathy and Steve talk about all the great deals in the tent this year, the wonderful vendors at our fleece market and what it takes to pull this even together each year. And check out our live Facebook video of the show this year!

Come to the 14th Annual Tent Sale this Saturday and Sunday! While supplies last, you’ll find deals on full bags of yarns, $2.50 and $5.00 yarn bins, hand-dyed yarn specials, and even more deals that can only be found at the WEBS Tent Sale! You can also take the opportunity to shop the 42nd Anniversary Sale in person in our store, PLUS save 20% on all in-stock spinning tools, fiber, and equipment! Doors open at 10am but you can peruse the tent and shop the Fleece Market a bit earlier, and if you do you might catch Steve and Kathy broadcasting Ready, Set, Knit! Live from the tent!

If you come shop the Tent Sale on Saturday, May 14th, you can also shop our 12th Annual Fleece Market, which features fleeces, fiber, yarn, and crafts from over a dozen local vendors!

Franklin talks about creating the images for the book, his favorite colored pencils and Kathy encourages Franklin to have a Color-a-long! For a first look at the book stop by Vogue Knitting Live! next weekend in Pasadena!

We’ve been getting ready for weeks but like an ant’s nest that’s been kicked, all that activity has been below the surface until now! The Tent is going up and we’ll start filling it for you early on Saturday morning. Get here early for some of the best deals and to check out all the local vendors and shepherds at our Annual Fleece Market! And don’t forget that all of the great deals on the May Anniversary Sale Yarns will still be in effect as well as 20% off all in-stock spinning wheels and spinning supplies during Tent Sale. Will this be the year you FINALLY get to WEBS’ Tent Sale? or will this be your 14th visit? How many times have you made it?

Have you had a chance to make it to our Tent Sale? If you haven’t, you do not want to miss out this year! It is taking place Saturday and Sunday, May 17th and 18th at our store in Northampton, MA. In addition to our great Anniversary Sale yarns, we’ll have amazing deals under the tent that you can only get at the store this weekend.

All weekend, all of our in-stock spinning wheels, tools, and fiber are 20% off. This is the perfect weekend to pick up that spinning wheel you’ve been dreaming about. It’s not often that we have sales on spinning wheels, so take advantage of it while you can.

On Saturday, we have a real treat. Our Annual Fleece Market takes place in our parking lot. Each year, local vendors set up and you can shop all of their great products. In addition, this year, we will have food vendors. We’re pretty excited about this, and for you it means not giving up your coveted parking spot to snag some snacks, or lunch. (You can see the list of fleece and food vendors on our website.)

Since our parking lot can get a little crazy on Saturday, you’ll want to look out for helpful employees in bright yellow vests. They can help direct you to where you need to go. It’s a pretty crowded day, and it’s also a fun day loaded with fellow fiber fans, so chat with your neighbors in line, and remember to be kind and courteous to each other. We’re here to celebrate, not just another Tent Sale, but our 40th Anniversary!

The book includes the Splash Cardigan knit in our own Valley Yarns Southwick which happens to be on sale through the end of May! Julie points out that with the alternative fibers featured in the book your knit fabric will behave much differently than it would with wool so swatching will be important!

This week Kathy talks with Brooke about her new book, Lovely Knitted Lace. The book contains 16 projects, with 4 basic shapes and is great for beginners who may be fearful of lace to more advanced knitters.

Brooke talks about becoming a knitwear designer and running the Kirkwood Knittery, in St. Louis MO, as well as teaching at industry events like Stitches.

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Boston or who sent in their donations to the Boston Strong Hat Project event! Laura sent us the following update:

As the marathon comes closer, I wanted to say Thank you again for your support of the Boston Strong Hat Project.
At the Knit in at the Old South Church on Boylston Street in Boston this past Saturday, we had an amazing day.

Four Marathon survivors also came and stayed for the whole knit in, telling people how much the hats have meant to them.
One woman drove to Boston from Albany, New York to drop off a Boston Strong Scarf based on the Boston Strong Pattern.

The Old South Church has received over 5,000 scarves to distribute to the athletes.
Their project has gone viral and they are receiving scarves from far and wide.
